High ExpectationsYou are officially an advanced art student

You will be held to higher standardsThere are a lot of assignments and they will overlap

Majority of the assignments are to be completed outside of class!

Independent and Group Work

I will not cater to students who do not do the work!

Required SuppliesMust have a Digital Camera!

You are responsible for the care of your equipment. You must have a working camera! I do not have alternate assignments.

Types of Digital Cameras

Basic Cameras•Subcompacts

•Compacts•Superzooms

Students take notes

Subcompacts• Subcompacts fit in a

pocket, are lightweight but generally have few manual controls. A few include nontelescoping zoom lenses, and others have zooms as high as 14x.

Compacts

• Compacts are a bit larger, and often have more manual controls than subcompacts.

Superzooms• Superzooms offer 15x or greater zoom, with

some recent models including optical zooms as great as 35x. Like compacts, superzooms often, though not always, include manual controls.

Types of Digital Cameras

Advanced Cameras•Advanced point and shoots

•SLR like•SLR

Advanced point and shoots• Advanced point-and-shoots have a

nondetachable lens but differ from basic models because they have lots of manual controls, a hot shoe for an external flash, and support for RAW files. It's the lightest advanced type.

SLR like• SLR-like models have interchangeable lenses,

but they lack a through-the-lens viewfinder. They're smaller and lighter than an SLR but usually larger than a point-and-shoot.

SLR• SLRs have the most features, with interchangeable

lenses and the largest sensors for the best image quality in low light, and a through-the lens viewfinder. Controls are extensive. They're also the heaviest, most expensive cameras.

An APS-C format SLR (left) and a full-frame DSLR (right) show the difference in the size of the

image sensors.

Memory Card(s)

Flash Drive* if your computer has had a virus recently it may be on your

flash drive and I would prefer you to buy a new flash drive

Why can’t I use my smart phone?

Warning

• If you are known to miss a lot of school, this is not the class for you. You will be behind quickly. It is important you attend school to complete the assignments.

• If you do not like to work outside of school, this is not the class for you. If you will not work outside of the school, you will fail the course.
